DJI Introduces Osmo, The Stabilized 4K Handheld Camera

in

For $649.  I first saw this un-named item at CES and it was thought to be an accessory for the DJI Inspire's detachable camera.  Now they include a new camera with it for the $649 price point.  And yes, you can use the DJI Inspire camera on it, but at this point it looks like the two are almost exactly the same so why bother?  Those DJI Inspire owners might want to consider waiting for the handle to be sold separately.

Perfect Bag for Free Under Seat Bag on Spirit?

in ,

I think I've found it!  It took a while because I didn't want some other third-no-name bag manufacturer with questionable quality even if super cheap.  

This is what I've found: 

Eagle Creek Flyte Pop Top AWD Black - Eagle Creek Small Rolling Luggage

Its dimensions are 16.5 x 14 x 9.  The half inch is just the handle, which while you can cut off, if you just put the bag upside down into the bag checker and it'll pass.  The big benefit is that it converts to a full size carry-on if you need it.  Quite awesome!  The negative is the price, currently $265 but it comes with Eagle Creek's No Matter What Warranty.

If you want to make absolutely sure it will fit, you can opt for the 2 wheel version instead:  Eagle Creek EC Adventure Pop Top Carry-On Black - Eagle Creek Small Rolling Luggage.  But once you go 4 wheels its tough to go back to 2.  

LA City Parking is Messed Up

in

Earlier this year I got a parking ticket for street sweeping where I was minutes from when the street sweeping was stated to start.  I had a very busy first quarter and filed my appeal on the very last day it was allowed.  They said it was received late.  I argued it was post-marked on the final day to appeal.  They said they would get back to me... They still haven't..

Meanwhile, my fine got doubled to $150 + late fee.  (Yes, the fine for street sweeping parking is over $70; $73 according to this article.)  Anyway, I have written them FOUR times.  I paid the fee first because $150+ is more than I even cared to pay, now they won't bother replying.

This is absolutely ridiculous.  I'm really glad there is an organization called the Los Angeles Parking Freedom Initiative fighting for Angelino's rights -- too bad their website is down.

If there is any class action suit going on, I'm in.
